An entire cruise ship was booked to celebrate an Indian fairy-tale wedding. For the first time ever, a vessel from Costa Cruises fleet was reserved exclusively for the celebration of such a sumptuous wedding.
From the 6th to 9th April 2017, Costa Fascinosa sets sail on the Mediterranean as venue for the nuptials of Adel Sajan, son of the Indian industrialist Rizwan Sajan who is Founder and Chairman of the Danube Group, the leading building materials company head-quartered in Dubai.
During the cruise, Adel Sajan, director of the Danube Group, will marry the charming Sana Khan, dentist, beauty queen, artist and writer.
Four days of festivities will be held in true “Bollywood” style, which will be executed by India’s leading wedding planners-Wedniksha and will bring together over 1,000 guests, including show business stars and personalities primarily from India and the Arab Emirates.
Costa Fascinosa set sail from Genoa on April 5 with the bridal couple, their families and a staff specially selected for the occasion on board; it will call at Barcelona where on April 6 guests will embark and will kick-start the celebration. It will then arrive in Marseille on April 7, where guests will enjoy the day of excursions around town before bringing in the evening events.
The day after that, the cruise will set a course towards Cannes, where, on board the ship anchored in the bay, the marriage will be celebrated. The cruise will end on April 9 at Savona.
The cruise programme includes themed parties in many of the different venues on Costa Fascinosa, gala dinners, parties and shows by special guests. The wedding itself will follow the traditional Indian rites in an updated style on board the ship.
